Other Energy Sources

How can we make Solar Energy and other Sources Of Renewable Energy cheaper to make and maintain?
There are a lot of people working on that problem right now. I live near the Silicon Valley and there are a bunch of new companies that have started in the last few years to bring to market new solar technologies that will be cheaper that our current products.
One very important type of solar power that is not as widely used as it could be is Passive Solar Heating. This means that a house is designed to get most of its heating from sunlight. To work well the house must be facing the right direction to catch sunlight and must be shaped and have windows in the right places. Insulation is also very important to it working well. Clearly with a preexisting house it may not be practical to make these kinds of changes.
However if a new house is designed and built to use passive solar heating it can add little or no cost to the house and yet you can have a house that will largely heat it self using just the sun. Passive solar heating takes a little extra effort in the design stage and requires that houses be oriented correctly with respect to the sun and most builders and architects do not know much about this.
It might be a good idea to have building regulations that require new construction to make use of passive solar heating. Those requirements would encourage builders to learn about passive solar and to use it. That would allow us to greatly reduce the amount of new heating energy demand for new houses and would cost almost nothing.
